Jiddu Krishnamurti was a philosopher born in 1895 in India who spoke about the need for radical change in mankind. He believed education should help discover lasting values and breakdown social barriers instead of just teaching facts. His views criticized nationalism for creating divisions and substituting religion. Krishnamurti saw education as a way to cultivate right relationships and inner transformation through non-judgmental self-examination. He argued education's purpose was to prepare students for life by making them think freely instead of conforming to society.

According to Krishnamurti education is not
merely acquiring knowledge, gathering ad
correlating facts. It is to see the significance of
life as a whole. Education helps us to discover
lasting values so that we do not merely cling
to formula or repeat slogans. It should help us
to breakdown our national and social barriers,
for they breed antagonism between man and
man .

8. A SMALL CLIP ON JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI’S WAY OF TEACHING.
9. In The Function of Education Jiddu Krishnamurti argues that
the purpose of education is to prepare people for life. That
is done by making students feel free, so that they can think
freely, and won't conform to society. Society is corrupt,
violent, and oppressive.
10. CONCLUSION
Krishnamurthi reminds us of the dangers of blind Nationalism.
Even today ,the world is under the reign of many fundamental
forces that use religion, language & race excuses to divide
humanity.
Education, to him was the vehicle for human transformation.
Hence education should promote global outlook which
focuses on a vision of the whole, free secretarial outlook and
disapproving all prejudices.
